Square Enix will also hot a Hitman: Absolution panel featuring a gameplay demo and Q&A session with Io Interactive. It will be hosted by Io art director Roberto Marchesi on Saturday April 7, from 7:30 to 8:30pm at the Manticore Theater.

And for the 21 and older crowd, Square Enix is hosting a Hitman: Absolution / Sleeping Dogs-themed event at the Faneuil Hall on Friday night. To get in, you’ll need a PAX East badge and legal identification.

Quantum Conundrum, and Hitman: Absolution both look pretty good. I also think Sleeping Dogs looks promising. I’m glad Square-Enix is giving the developers another chance, after Activision gave them the boot.

actually, Kim Swift is the “creator” of portal, not “co-creator”, because she’s the creative director on Quantum Conundrum (who brings the ideas), so I think she was the creative director on Portal, she’s really genius and I’m interested in her game (Quantum Conundrum)

Pretty boring line-up and I had low expectations pre-clicking-on-article.

Sleeping Dogs is the most interesting title here.

@RyoonZ: Which is shameful from Square Enix considering it was a cancelled Activision game.

Still no mention of Kingdom Hearts and its western release info. I know they announced it in December of last year, but they also released a website during the same month that has a localized trailer coming soon mention, and guess what 4 months later its still coming “soon”.
Come on NA SQ give me some kind of info on my favorite series, with its release in Japan it only makes avoiding spoilers SO much harder!
